For the first time since 2008, the Meridian Yellowjackets have opened the season with back-to-back victories. But against the Riesel Indians, it didn't come easily. In a contest that produced seven lead changes, Meridian finally broke the see-saw pattern by scoring 12 unanswered points and shutting down the Indians in the fourth quarter to secure a wild 33-28 victory in Riesel last Friday night.

It could be argued that the Clifton Cubs have one of the toughest non-district schedules among Class 3A, Division II teams across the state. So chalking up the season's first victory in the home opener takes some pressure off a relatively young squad trying to rebuild after losing a large and talented senior class in 2014.

Playing in the Glen Rose Tournament, the Clifton Lady Cubs volleyball squad struggled against some quality opponents, winning its first match, Battling at Glen Rose, Clifton took the first match, 25-20 and 25-20 over Dubar. Leading the Lady Cubs were Kennadi Strawser 4 kills, 3 aces; Jessica Harris 6 Assists, 1 kill; and Tori Zander 2 aces, 2 kill, 2 assists.

While playing two scrimmages have helped Clifton football head coach Chuck Caniford and his staff identify areas to work on before the 2015 Texas high school football season begins, the Cubs will definitely undergo a trial by fire in the season opener this week. Hitting the road to face the West Trojans at 7:30 p.m. Friday, the Class 3A, Division II Cubs will be facing a Class 3A, Division I squad not only expected to make the playoffs this season, but to challenge for the District 9-3A, DI title. Regardless, Caniford sounds ready for the season and confident in the potential of his team this season.
If the old adage "playing good teams make you better" holds true, the Meridian Yellowjackets certainly made the right choice to scrimmage the Santo Wildcats last week. Taking on the Class 2A, Division II regional semifinalists expected to compete with state finalist Albany for the District 8-2A, DII title this season, the Jacket varsity struggled on both sides of the ball as Santo outplayed Meridian, 4-0, at Jacket Stadium last Friday. The Meridian junior varsity faired better, outscoring the Santo JV, 1-0.

The children of this family bear the names respectively of Edward, Lewis, Francis; John, deceased; Jessie; Josiah and Alford, who died in infancy; Josiah and Alford, namesakes of the little ones lost by death; Elizabeth, Sarah K., Hiram, our subject, Lydia, Mary, and one twin sister, who died in infancy unnamed.
Hiram Enke was the 10th child in order of birth in his father's family, and united in marriage early in life with Miss Margaret E. Reece, Jan. 23, 1868. She was born in Ohio, Feb. 15, 1840, and died Aug. 27, 1885, of consumption of the lungs. She left to the bereaved husband two children, named Leva, born Jan. 23, 1872, and Lula, Sept. 28, 1876. Our subject is a man of considerable influence and marked ability in his special line of labor. To the work of farming he adds the breeding of cattle, and has proven his ability to succeed.
Mr. Enke enlisted in the hour of his country's need in the 7th IL. Cav. Co. D., Capt. Reynolds, of Galesburg, having command. This was in August 1862, and Capt. Bradshaw was recruiting officer. He entered his regiment at Camp Yates, Springfield, IL, thence proceeding to St. Louis, Mo., where they remained for two weeks. They were then ordered to Columbus, Ky, and from there to Corinth, where occurred that pitiful struggle on the 4th and 5th of October 1862. The regiment came out of the fight without the loss of a single man, and Mr. Enke remained in the city of Corinth for the next three months, at the close of which time he was ordered to Bolivar, Tenn. At that place they went into camp, but were marched to La Grange for winter quarters, where they did picket and scouting duty during the winter. This was during the winter of 1862, and the next summer was spent in guarding the railroad from Memphis to Corinth, and in the former city, in the fall of 1863, they went into winter quarters for that year, remaining most of the season doing guard duty and in the spring went to Middle Tennessee, noting the movements of Hood, at Florence, Ala. That was in the fall of 1863, and in the battle of Franklin, Tenn, Mr. Enke's regiment was situated on the left flank. Succeeding the battle they removed to Nashville, where they remained a short time, until the battle at that city. His brigade took two stockades and lost several men in the engagement. They next followed Hood to the Tennessee River, and at Tuscumbia all his regiment was dismounted and compelled to wade the swollen stream, which gave him a severe illness, from which he has never fully recovered. Mr. Enke was mustered out of service on the 1st day of July 1864, at Nashville, Tenn., with honor attending him as a courageous man and a soldier.
In politics he upholds the Republican party with word and deed. In theological belief he owns no "creed save that of common good," but is of true and pure moral character, and in earnest sympathy with the doctrines of faith as shown by the Christian Church. United to his political belief he holds the principles of the Prohibitionist.

This application is related to co-pending application Ser. No. 055,515, filed July 9, 1979 entitled "Package for Storing and Spraying Small Amounts of Liquids" now U.S. Pat. No. 4,275,840.
The present invention relates to packages for the accommodation and dispensing of small amounts of flowable, in particular liquid, viscous, pasty materials.
More particularly, the invention relates to a package formed of two foil sections joined with one another and providing a compressible container for the storage of the material and a chamber adjacent the compressible container, the chamber being separated from the container by a barrier which has a predetermined rupture site and communicating with an outlet opening for the material. The package of this invention is of the type that may be compressed by the user between his fingers to discharge the contents of the storage container.
In known packages of this general type there is the disadvantage that after the bursting or opening of the predetermined rupture site by application of a strong pressure to the compressible container the material passes directly to the outlet opening and is discharged. Thereby, material can be lost, and in the case of unfavorable alignment of the package even soil the clothing of the user. A further disadvantage lies in that in pressing the storage container to discharge material out of the package the emergence rate and the amount emerging are very strongly dependent on the finger pressure that the user applies to the container with the material situated in it. This is a particular problem, for example, if a strand of a pasty mixture component is to be applied to a standard (Mess-stab) for purposes of dosage, a liquid component is to be combined constantly with another component or sealing or coating material is to be applied in a constant film thickness to an underlayer.
Further, for the storing and dispensing of shoe polish it is a known practice to provide a sponge with the container, with interposition of a predetermined rupture site, and the shoe polish is dispensed through the pores of the sponge in dependence on the pressure applied to the compressible container. This arrangement has the disadvantage that a rather high pressure is required to press the shoe polish through the open pores of the sponge, residues always remaining within the sponge, which render difficult a repeated use of the package and preclude a complete using-up of the material.
Considering these and other problems, it is an object of the present invention to provide a package for the accommodation or storing and dispensing of small amounts of flowing material, in which a premature discharge of the material on application of increased pressure for the bursting or opening of the predetermined rupture site is avoided and in the dispensing of the material a constant rate of discharge, independent of pressure, of the material from the outlet opening is ensured.
More specifically, an object of this invention is to overcome the problem heretofore found in packages of this type, by providing means for throttling the discharge of the material to control its flow from the storage container when the barrier sealing the container is ruptured by pressure applied to the material in the container.
This invention achieves the advantage that the package can be opened without aids, such as a scissors, and solely by finger pressure and the contents will be discharged at a regulated rate.
The material is stored in the container and secured against the escape even of the smallest amounts. The chamber which is separated by the barrier and predetermined rupture site from the container storing the material, is provided with an outlet opening that is always open and has a predeterminable form and size. The outlet opening, therefore, can be formed for the extrusion of wide, thin films or of strands that have a rectangular, oval or round cross sections. Such material strands are suited for the apportioning of one or more components of a mixture of compound. The compressible container is opened in such a manner that a heavy pressure is applied to the container, so that the material bursts or opens the barrier at the predetermined rupture site. Independently of the emergence rate of the material from the container, the material is at first retained in the adjacent chamber by reason of a throttling action. Despite the application of a heavy pressure, no material escapes through the outlet opening. Only upon continued application of pressure to the compressible container is material discharged constantly through the outlet opening, this escape or constant dispensing likewise being controlled by the throttling means. Uneven pressing, therefore is accommodated by the throttling means provided in the device. The emerging material stream, therefore, is also largely independent of the amount of material still present in the compressible container.
Expediently the throttling means is constructed as a blocking wall arranged inside the chamber. The blocking wall can be secured to one of the foil sections. It can also be formed in one piece with one of the foil sections.
Another means of providing throttling effect may be provided by a flat channel that connects the chamber with the outlet opening. Expediently, the length of the channel is chosen dependent on the viscosity of the material, so that it is made certain that on application of the first increased pressure upon the compressible container for the bursting or opening of the predetermined rupture site the material in the channel is choked, but on subsequent pressing the emergence of the material from the channel is not hampered. The throttling channel can be made in serpentine form.
Another feature of the invention is that the chamber adjacent the predetermined rupture site is formed empty, so that it is likewise compressible and thereby makes possible the discharge of small doses of material that correspond exactly to the volume of the chamber.
Further, the invention relates to a process for dispensing small amounts of flowing material from a package by increasing the internal pressure within a compressible container for the storage of the material and with a chamber adjacent the compressible container, the chamber being separated from the container by a predetermined rupture site and being in communication with an outlet opening for the material, it being provided according to the invention that by increasing the internal pressure of the compressible container the predetermined rupture site is opened, the material inside the container released from pressure and is held by a throttling means inside the chamber and the material is thereby continuously dispensed by means of pressure further applied to the compressible container carrying the material to pass the throttling means or choke.
In the drawing there are represented examples of packages embodying the invention, which are explained in the following description.
FIG. 1 shows in plan view a package embodying the invention;
FIG. 2 is a longitudinal section of the package according to FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 shows in plan view another package embodying the invention;
FIG. 4 is a longitudinal section of the package according to FIG. 3;
FIG. 5 shows in plan view a third package embodying the invention;
FIG. 6 is a longitudinal section of the package according to FIG. 5; and
FIG. 7 shows in plan view a fourth package embodying the invention.
In all examples of packages embodying the invention, the package consists of two foil sections 11 and 12 which are joined in dthe zone of their surrounding edge 10 by gluing, welding, hot-sealing, pressing or the like with sealing effect. The foil section 11 can be separated from a flat web and consists preferably of a laminate of metal foil and thermoplastic material. The foil section 12 is deep-drawn and consists preferably of thermoplastic material such as translucent polyethylene.
In the example of the invention according to FIGS. 1 and 2 the foil sections 11 and 12 form an outer container 1, in which there is arranged an inner container 2 of smaller volume for the storage of flowable material 3. The inner container 2 is rectangular and expediently welded with the foil section 11. In the formed wall of the inner container 2 there is provided a predetermined rupture site 4. Through the volume difference of the outer container 1 and of the inner container 2 adjacent the predetermined rupture site 4 there is formed a chamber 7, which is provided with an outlet opening 5. Inside the chamber 7 there is provided a throttling means for the material, herein shown as a blocking wall 8, which in the example illustrated is fastened to the foil section 11. It can also be formed in one piece with the foil section 11. The blocking wall 8 has less height than the chamber 7 and can be also fastened to the side walls of the outer container 1.
When pressure is applied according to arrow 15 to the outer container 1 and thereby also to the inner container 2, the flowable material 3 bursts the predetermined rupture site 4 and flows into the chamber 7 being retained therein and throttled in its flow by the blocking wall 8. If pressure is continued according to arrow 15, then the material escapes on the path indicated by the arrow 6 at a constant flow rate and flow strength.
In the example of the invention according to FIGS. 3 and 4 the foil section 11 is again constructed flat, while the foil section 12 is deep-drawn, in order to form a container 9 and a chamber 19, which after the joining of the two foil sections 11 and 12 in the zone of the surrounding edge 10 and the transverse rupture site 14 are separated from one another by this barrier. The chamber 19 is provided with a flat-rectangular outlet opening 13. Inside the chamber 19 there is present as choke or throttling means a blocking wall 18 that is narrower than the space 19, but extends from the foil section 11 to the foil section 12 and can be joined with both. Through the dimensioning of the blocking wall 18 there result two flow paths, which are indicated by the arrows 22, as soon as a pressure according to arrow 15 is applied to the container 9 and the predetermined rupture site 14 is burst, whereby the two foil sections 11 and 12 which are joined along the transverse axis of the rupture site separate from one another as indicated by arrows 17 and 16. In the first application of pressure the blocking wall 18 at first retains the flowable material 3 in the chamber 19 until after continuation of the pressure application the material emerges from the package according to arrows 22 through the opening 13.
In the third example of the invention according to FIGS. 5 and 6, the predetermined rupture site is constructed in the same manner as that according to FIGS. 3 and 4. The chamber 19, however, is substantially flatter and has no blocking wall as such. Following upon the chamber 19 there follows as choke or throttling means a channel 20 winding in serpentine form, the length of which is chosen dependent on the viscosity of the material, so that upon pressure applied to the container for the bursting or opening of the rupture site 14 the material enters channel 20 and is choked, but on continued pressing the material emerges from the outlet opening. At the open end of the choke channel 20 there is the outlet opening 21. The opening of the pre-determined rupture site 14 and the dispensing of the material takes place in the same manner as in the earlier described examples of the invention.
The single inner container 2 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 can be replaced by two containers that can be constructed for the storage of different fluids or materials. On the other hand, inside the container 9 of FIGS. 3-6 there can be provided a longitudinally or transversely running partition, as shown for example in FIG. 7 which includes a longitudinal partition 23, which likewise makes possible the storage of different liquids or other material.
By controlling the strength of bond between the two foil sections in the zone of the predetermined rupture site 14, especially in the example of the invention according to FIGS. 3 and 4, the barrier provided between the storage container and the throttling chamber can be made so that it ruptures to provide a flat relatively narrow channel between the storage container 9 and the chamber 19, so that when finger pressure is applied to the chamber 19 only the material that happens to be in this chamber is discharged. In this manner extremely small precisely apportioned amounts can be dispensed which correspond substantially to the volume of the chamber 19. In all examples of the invention, the strength of bond between the foil sections is controlled so that the site 14 ruptures at a predetermined finger pressure to release the contents, and as finger pressure is continued, to discharge the contents of the container.

Is this the valley Drive-In?
You guys got me all confused! I have aerial 3210 20th. There is bank and if you look behind the bank to can make ramps/trees yet. Which one?
It would be nice if anybody that submits a theatre could find/figure out the address before.
Located on Conewago Green Rd.
Here is an aerial from 1970
At Buddy..got any pictures of it? When I wrote that, I could not find who the operator was. I don't live in the area.
Uploaded some aerials. It is funny that they built on the drive-in theatre site. If you look around at the current aerial alot of open spaces yet.
In looking at your address on goggle and TOPO is on the other side of the road.
Maybe Chuck at that time, Montevallo Rd. was not there??
Thanks for submitting them!!
The address is 3110 Pinson Valley Pkwy, Birmingham, AL 35217
The address is 9248 Parkway E, Birmingham, AL 35206
Walmart now
The address is 7845 Crestwood Blvd, Birmingham, AL 35210
It is were the Kmart is at now.
In looking at the opening day ad and Mike Rivest theatre site it should be "Grand Vu"
Just uploaded a aerial from 1958..
Plus one for the Skyline down the road
Just uploaded an aerial from 1958
Upload some aerials showing the amusement park and drive-in. Also, the expressway going through the middle of it.
Just uploaded some movie ads. Does anybody have pictures or aerial view of it? It would be interesting to see the layout of both of the drive-ins.
It comes up correct on Bing but not Goggle maps. Like I have said sometimes Goggle maps are off.

Veteran educator works to enrich kids' lives
Published: Monday, June 18, 2007 at 12:08 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, June 18, 2007 at 12:11 p.m.
HOUMA -- She may not be a classroom teacher, but every year Alma Dark works with more than 300 students to help them excel in academics and life skills.
Dark, 56, runs Operation MOVE 2 for the Terrebonne Parish School Board. Its an after-school program that aims to help students improve academically and gain experiences that they might not otherwise have.
It is offered at Oaklawn Junior High, Elysian Fields, Legion Park and Grand Caillou middle schools and helps fourth- through eighth-graders flex their academic muscles in preparation for everyday school work and high-stakes tests like LEAP.
While the program targets low-scoring students, the after-school activities are open to all students attending those schools.
"It always seemed like I could work with difficult kids," Dark, who lives in Gray, said of her natural teaching abilities. "I could bridge that gap."
A Terrebonne native, Dark said she knew early on that she wanted to be an educator. If she wasnt playing school as a young girl, she was tutoring other students as she grew older.
She graduated from C.M. Washington High School in 1968, an all-black high school in Thibodaux, the year before integration was mandated. After earning a bachelors degree from Nicholls State University, Dark began her lengthy career as a teacher for Terrebonne public schools.
She started at Dularge Elementary as a math and science teacher, later moving to Caldwell Middle to teach language arts.
Dark was able to utilize her long-time passion for math when she became Terrebonnes math facilitator.
"Anyone who knows Alma Dark, they equate that with my love for math," she said. "I am math. I love it."
In 2000, Dark switched roles again, working with one of the public schools grant programs. That effort led to programs such as Operation MOVE 2.
The program, which is financially supported by federal money dispersed by the state, has been offered in the local school system for several years.
She said the programs goal is threefold: to help working families, improve academic achievement and keep kids safe after school.
Dark often works one-on-one with kids to help them grasp their studies, even if it means sitting with them in class.
She did this with a group of students at one middle school last year, and helped the kids earn As on their tests -- a first-time achievement for some.
"They had tasted that success, and it was awesome," Dark said.
The after-school program, then called Operation MOVE 1, was initially split into two groups and served eight schools, including Caldwell Middle, Dularge Middle and Southdown Elementary.
Operation MOVE 1 was discontinued last school year, and the sun is about to set on Operation MOVE 2. The federal grant money for the after-school program wont be renewed in 2008, she said.
With this in mind, Dark said she anticipates retiring on Nov. 18, 2008, after more than 35 years with the school system.
Once she retires, Dark said she may continue indulging her passion for teaching by tutoring area students.
But for now, shes looking forward to retiring and putting aside a hectic schedule that often sees her working at the office until 7 to 8 p.m. during the school year.
"Im satisfied," she said of her impending retirement and lengthy career. "Ive done well."

Is group brainstorming more effective if you do it standing up?
Andrew Knight and Markus Baer recruited 214 undergrads to take part in a 30-minute brainstorming session in groups of three to five people. The challenge for the groups was to come up with ideas for a university recruitment video, which they then recorded at the end of the session.
All groups were filmed as they took turns to conduct their brainstorm in the same room - a 13.5 x 8.5 foot space, with table, whiteboard and note pads. For half of the groups, there were five office chairs around the table, whereas for the other groups there were no chairs.
Knight and Baer found that groups working in the room with no chairs showed higher arousal, as measured by a gadget worn around the wrist that detected skin sweatiness. Students in these groups also showed reduced territoriality, which means that individuals felt less possessive of the ideas they generated. This might be because the lack of chairs encouraged them to share the physical space and this facilitated a sharing mindset. The good news is both these factors - higher arousal and less territoriality - were associated with more "idea elaboration". This is the process, crucial for successful group brainstorming, by which each individual's best ideas are recombined with other people's, or improved upon by others.
Strangely, the researchers don't report whether students in the chairless room spent more time standing (perhaps they sat on the floor?). However, the chairless students did say afterwards that they felt there was more room to move around, and their higher arousal could be a sign of more movement.
The researchers concluded: "Our results suggest that if leaders aspire to enhance collaborative knowledge work, they might consider eschewing the traditional conference room setup of tables and chairs and, instead, clear an open space for people to collaborate with one another."
The downer for this study is that while a space with no chairs was beneficial for the manner in which students worked together, ultimately there was no improvement in terms of the final videos that they produced. That is, videos produced by groups working in a room with no chairs were rated by judges as no more polished or creative, than videos produced by groups working in a room with chairs. Further research, preferably with creative professionals, is needed to replicate the main finding that standing brainstorms are conducted in a more effective way, and to see whether this can boost final creative output.

For info - no-one is saying that having a wide face *makes* you a better fighter. It's a correlation, so there will be exceptions. However, for some reason the correlation exists, and moreover, naive observers appear to be able to use this feature to estimate with some accuracy a man's fighting prowess (in this case, as reflected in their UFC performance). There's strong evidence that observers are using facial width in this way, because when the researchers made a man's face appear wider, naive observers estimated his fighting formidability to be greater. Higher basal testosterone levels are one potential causal factor that may affect face shape and strength/aggression, thereby helping explain the face width / formidability correlation.ReplyDelete
- Colin MacKenzie12:41 pm
I gave up on this when you started basing your success on a correlation. Correlations do not imply causality! There is an axing correlation between the times I wear my jacket and it rains. Maybe you'd like to claim my jacket makes it rain. No causality, just association.ReplyDelete
Oh, and you put yourself on the ropes when you were suggesting this is Darwinian and evolution based. Sounds more like phrenology to me and that got thrown out by serious scientists a hundred years ago. Please stop positing shite, you'd better listen my face is wider than it is long, I'm nails me...
- Lin1:44 pm
This research would have been more interesting had the more obvious visual cues been followed up.'Wider' is so fluffy as a descriptor. The obvious cues in this example are in the musculature and general facial tone. Face 1 has heavily developed neck muscles with well developed and toned connective tissue throughout the face/skull. Face 2 is poorly toned and flaccid, therefore proportionately longer and thinner.. 'Wide face' is an imprecise and probably spurious correlation here.ReplyDelete
- MFMartelli2:57 am
Tom, correlation is not cause and we may agree there. However, failure to investigate guarantees ignorance and in the scientific method, increased study leads to increased understanding. Moreover, in logic, and in statistics, and in experimental research design, and science generally, nearly verbatim statements like the one you made are used as examples of 'Joe or Sarah Meathead n=1' ignorance. Consider and easy to understand example. For every 1 person killed because of seatbelt strangulation, something like 10 or 20 others are saved from death by seatbelts. Are these studies a 'waste'? Only 'Joe or Sarah Meathead' science would think so and only Joe or Sarah would argue against seat belt laws...ReplyDelete

This is fascinating, our brain works pretty much the same way when recalling memories either on purpose or by accident. If this is true is there really any reason to separate the two? Could this be the case for other abilities of the brain? I could see how this study would greatly improve the understanding of Post-dramatic Stress disorder.ReplyDelete

Wider Faces are also correlated with better nutrition during childhood and adolescence. Also poor nutrition and "poor jaw development".ReplyDelete
Cool article about the important structures and health effects of a thiner face.
- Neirdo8:09 am
I wonder how they do to control for "racial"/"lineage" differences. I think Asians, many Africans (except for North Africans, around Ethiopia, or others sometimes, called "elongated Africans" in physical anthropology), and Eastern Europeans (so called Alpine types) have all wider faces than Caucasoids or Africans with "thinner faces". Would it be possible that this is still predictive even at this level? I don't think so, I think the "masculinity" would weigh more, both on people's guessings and in actual measures of fight prowess (but again, we're talking about averages, not rules without deviations).ReplyDelete
And among those people with "racially" rounded/wider faces there are many who seem rather "infantile" looking, in adulthood. And conversely, some Europeans with the thinner faces ("Nordics") can also look quite masculine and, partly speculating by the historical fame of the Vikings, I don't doubt that there would or could be a significant deviation of this pattern with them.
I also wonder about native Australians. They have the most massive skulls, both males and females. Are there MMA/boxing agents looking for potential world-stars among the natives of Australia?
I recall reading something about a substantial predictive power of the girth of the wrist among boxers. A boxer who had the girth of fighters of the weight class above his own was/is holding the best records in his category.
- Neirdo8:19 am
Sorry, it's not like in "what the bleep do we know". The hypothetical difference in cheering is unlikely to have an outweighing effect on UFC fights, or even in the "real world", where I would pretty much include UFC fights -- these fights are probably more serious than most "real world" fights, anyway.ReplyDelete
While there is some research that indicates that people's evaluations/intuitions may be affected by things like the color of the belt or jacket a fighter is wearing (which may even affect the referee's judgments and perhaps even the fighters abilities), ultimately real physical difference should make more difference, and these facial differences are probably proxies for advantageous musculature and bone structure.
- Neirdo8:47 am
What's wrong with correlations? There's nothing unexpected or absurd with some traits (like facial features, or breadth) correlating with others (like bone girth or musculature), and these "other" traits giving some advantage in a fight, all else being equal. Nor it's utterly wrong or nonsensical that perhaps people more or less unconsciously can infer the former from the latter.ReplyDelete
But the "darwinian evolution" part sounded a bit like a joke to me, almost like the result of an exercise of "let's just come up with darwinian explanations for random stuff". Sort of the evolutionary "equivalent" of Poe's law.
Not that it's totally off, larger/bulkier males are certainly the result of darwinian adaptation, but when we remember that in the human lineage such dimorphisms have been in progressive decline, it's almost irrelevant/nonsensical to bring that up. It's much more about an evolutionary "inertia" of past adaptations than a present adaptation, still maintained at this precise level by natural selection. It may confer some advantage at instances, but I think it's quite hard to make a case that such instances are what kept humans from becoming perfectly non-dimorphic in relation to such traits. We're probably the closest possible to that already, to go further than that some rather unlikely and unimaginable selective pressures would be required.
Even sexual selection probably plays a larger role at this point. By "at this point", I mean something like, perhaps starting on Australopithecines, and pretty much stabilizing with Homo.
People will soon not trust posts like this in social media any more since the headline tell something completely different then the actual point hidden in last paragraph.ReplyDelete
Awesome blog. I enjoyed reading your articles. This is truly a greatReplyDelete

although i believe that click bait is digging marketing's grave. i appreciated the details of the study so as to better understand. maybe a title more like "...no better, here's why"ReplyDelete

Jewelry designer, hands on artist, photographer….
♥ The name of my studio is derived from my grandmother Julia's quirky yard. She lived in a little emerald green house blessed with river bottom soil, rich and black. All over the yard was scattered a myriad of plants, most of which cropped up in unexpected places. Sweet Williams close to the rickety gate, gooseberry bush near the back door, strawberries on the south side of the house. She had chickens (in the city) that laid brown eggs in a old cobbled together coop. Her gingerbread was baked in tin cans so the loaves came out nice and round, perfect for slicing. So from the quirkiness of her home comes Gooseberry Studio, bright green, shiny and sour berries.....
I do hope you find something you love here, custom work is always an option.

Accepted payment methods
If you have an Etsy gift card please message me…thanks!
........Purchases made in Arizona are charged a 7.3% sales tax.
You may be charged 20% VAT GST and £8 handling by Royal Mail upon delivery. These taxes are imposed by the United Kingdom and are the buyer's responsibility. Contrary to what Etsy has listed in U.S. shops, these fees are NOT included in the price or shipping you are paying. Please see the link below for information regarding the delivery procedure in the UK: http://www.royalmail.com/personal/help-and-support/Ive-received-a-card-asking-for-a-payment
Other countries I ship to may also charge a customs fee. These are also the responsibility of the buyer. I am sorry but if you buy an item and refuse the package I cannot refund the shipping charge you paid when making the purchase.
➤➤Domestic U.S. orders ship First Class Mail. If you would like to add on signature confirmation or insurance, please let me know before ordering, I will add on the charge.
If you would like to upgrade to Priority Mail please send me a message first. I ship International packages via USPS First Class, delivery confirmation is not available for international shipments. If you would like me to add on insurance please let me know, I will charge what the cost is which is not much.
I wish I could control how the post office handles your package after I ship it's but I do only have the same tracking information as you do. The majority of the time packages arrive when they are scheduled to, once in awhile they route the parcel to the moon and back, who knows why. Please understand that I carry no responsibility for the arrival of your item...if only my magic wand would work...
If you need items shipped to different addresses they must be ordered separately with independent shipping charges. This is the only way I can print shipping labels here on Etsy.
☛ INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS: Please be aware of any possible international VAT customs or import charges you may have to pay, this is NOT included in your purchase here. These are set up by each respective country and sellers in the U.S. have no control over them.
For Domestic and International customers, if you would like to add on insurance, please contact me before making a purchase. Thank you!
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING: I mail First Class through the U.S postal service. Tracking is not available once it leaves the U.S. If you would like to purchase insurance, please ask me before you make your purchase. I cannot take any responsibility for your package once I leave it at the post office. Insurance is generally not expensive and gives you piece of mind for you purchase. I will add it on at cost, please ask first if possible.
Overseas packages as well as shipments to Canada can take up to several weeks and sometimes up to 6 weeks. I cannot adjust your package to state that it is a gift, the shipping labels that I buy here are automatically filled out with that information. You may of course be subject to the customs fees of your country.
If a package is returned to me as unclaimed I will resend if you request me to, however you are responsible for the additional shipping charges. If you refuse your package I cannot refund the original shipping.
International addresses need to be in English, that is the only way the post office here will ship packages.
Refunds and Exchanges
I will take returns within 8 days from the date you received the item from me (not on custom orders or custom personalized items) if you are not completely happy with your purchase (not including your original or return shipping). Please contact me within 2 days to talk to me about it if you would like to return an item. You will need to send First Class with insurance and in the original shape in which it was sent to you. I'm sorry, I cannot accept returns on stud or post earrings since, for hygienic reasons, cannot be resold.
Once I receive the item and deem that it is the original condition I will refund your purchase, the customer will be responsible for the shipping costs both ways.
If you've ordered customized jewelry and I have a question for you but do not hear back in a timely manner I may have to cancel the order.
Additional policies and FAQs
I maintain copyright over my jewelry work which is not for use by others. I also retain copyright over the images of my work, etc.

Adrienne Manning Slides Off Her Tiny ShortsThursday, May 26, 2016
When you first lay eyes on Adrienne Manning, the sensuous brunette can easily take your breath away. Stunningly beautiful, this babe is also deliciously sexy and happy to share every inch of her body with you. She loves showing you around her new home, although the way she's taking her clothes off guarantees that you're spending more time gawking at her sweet titties and hot ass more than anything else.
Her slender curves are far more interesting than the fireplace or granite counters. In fact, when Adrienne Manning gets naked, she's rather hoping that you'll bend her over that counter and give her the housewarming fuck she's craving!

leaving it the next morning
upon arrival I took 1 look and turned to get the sleeping bag out of the car to place atop the worn dingy bed spread. I did not want to touch it at all. the floor was warped and pushed up in areas. the shower was pretty disgusting as well.
Shower water pressure
Balcony,comfy bed,location.
Small shower,only 2 towels. No ice machine.
Proximity to the beach
the location right on the water you could get no closer!!!!
the food was not what we thought it would be....
Waffles for free in the morning, clean comfortable room.
The morning sunrise is wonderful. The motel is set on a hill facing east. The room was very clean. The location is easy on/off to highway. Beaches and Foxwoods are
Close by. There's a Dunkin Donuts across the street.
The highway is close so you have that noise in the background.
I spent a little extra on this hotel because it got good reviews and I will pay a little more for quality. I was grossly disappointed with this hotel. We pulled in, and were literally the only car in the hotel parking lot - and it was midnight. There was no hot water for a shower in the room so we suffered through freezing cold showers. When we checked out, we told them about the cold water and they just made a bunch of excuses as to why the water was cold without any apologies or reimbursement. A truly poorly managed hotel.
Comfortable beds, jacuzzi in room, seemed over all clean.
Stand up shower is tiny and outdated. Cheap and skimpy on toiletries. Did not have extras like razors or tooth paste. (not even for sale) Also only provided 2 in 1 shampoo / conditioner. Wish the shuttle ran later. Staff was borderline ruse, but kept enough to make a huge issue.
Room was better than expected for money we paid. Room was very clean and queen beds were comfortable.
The staff/service is terrible. We booked the shuttle to a casino for 930pm but when we arrived 5 minutes early they left us while claiming the people from our room had already boarded the shuttle. They had no way of verifying and making sure the right people boarded. My girlfriend had to wait in -2 degree weather for th next shuttle. Also there's breakfast until 11am amd we arrived at 1055 to get something quick to eat for the ride back and they said it had already closed. Why say it's opened until 11am but close earlier than the advertised time. Entire staff and manager seemed unorganized and unprofessional.
The casino shuttle and waffle maker in the morning make this place! Less then half what you pay to stay at foxwoods. I'd definitely go back.
Nothing I can think of.
Great value! Reception desk staff greeted me as I was still approaching the desk. Professional hospitality, great facility, in great condition, in a fantastic location. Would definitely return.
The size if the room was perfect. The bed was very comfy. It was a short distance to both Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun. The Mystic Aquarium was with in walking distance as was the Old Mystic Plaza. All in all it was a great stay and I would recommend it to a friend.
We did not like that there wasn't a shuttle, car service or limo service to the Casino Resorts. For the price this feature should be included as well as a free Continental Breakfast.
Very bad service by the housekeeping staff, beds were unclean
The room smelled awful. We had to buy a can of room freshener. The furniture was warn. They didn't provide any breakfast other than coffee. If you had a room on the second floor there was no elevator.
Friendly and helpful person at the front desk. Good location close to the freeway.

Middling Hammer vampire effort gets superior DVD treatment
on December 13, 2001
Lust for a Vampire is the second and generally acknowledged as the least of Hammer's Carmilla Karnstein trilogy (Vampire Lovers, Lust, Twins of Evil). The movie is actually better than I expected, with most of the downside apparently due to postproduction fiddling by producers Harry Fine and Michael Style. The script by Tudor Gates contains a few fresh twists, Jimmy Sangster's direction is competent, the women, especially Yutte Stensgaard as Mircalla, are gorgeous, and Ralph Bates is excellent in a difficult role (originally intended for Peter Cushing). But what really mars the film and no doubt contributes to its poor reputation are some shockingly bad editing and soundtrack decisions: an otherwise effective scene of three 'vampiresses' stalking Michael Johnson in Karnstein castle is ruined by an idiotic voiceover; the unintentionally hilarious "subjective" murder shots were no doubt intended to be cut away from much sooner than they are; blatantly obvious, mismatched closeups of Christopher Lee's bloodshot eyes are substituted for Mike Raven's; Stensgaard and Johnson's big vampire attack/love scene is rendered completely ludicrous by an absolutely awful pop song ("Strange Love") warbling in the background, etc., etc. The movie's quite watchable but frustrating because you keep thinking, "if only Jimmy Sangster had been allowed to edit this it probably would've been much better." (After saving Hammer's bacon by replacing injured Terence Fisher at the last minute, Sangster was unceremoniously ordered off the film by the producers as soon as shooting wrapped.) As it is, it's worth a look for Hammer and vampire fans, but ultimately less than completely satisfying.
Whatever one thinks of the film, you can't complain about Anchor's DVD package. The uncut, anamorphic widescreen (1.77:1) source print is a wee bit soft, but otherwise virtually flawless, with great color, contrast, detail, and nary a speckle to be seen. Extras include an equally gorgeous trailer, radio spots, poster and still gallery, filmographies, and a commentary by Jimmy Sangster, Suzanna Leigh, and Hammer historian Marcus Hearn. This is a real treat, since they spend most of the time discussing a wide range of personalities and topics, including some behind-the-scenes Hammer dish, rather than just focusing on the movie. Overall another fine release from Anchor, who've really been setting the standard for "special edition" DVDs lately, horror or otherwise. 5 stars for the DVD, 3 or 4 for the movie.

Camp Good Fun
on March 31, 2004
Set in the 1830s in some fictitious east European country, it begins with the evil Count and Countess Karnstein catching themselves a young virgin from the village whom they sacrifice to the Devil in order to resurrect the beautiful Countess Carmilla (Yutte Stensgaard). We then switch scene to young writer of horror stories, Richard LeStrange (Michael Johnson) arriving in the local village to hear the usual stories about how the castle on the hill is a Place of Evil blah blah blah. So off he goes to investigate only to discover that, place of evil or not, it is now adjacent to a posh girl's finishing school brimful of stunning young women including a certain Mircalla who he is instantly smitten by, rather unhappily as her name being an anagram for 'Carmilla' is no accident. Smitten as he is he quickly contrives to get taken on as an English teacher and is given lodgings to share with the decidedly strange history teacher Giles Barton played by Ralph Bates. Obviously it isn't long before nubile young ladies start cropping up dead with strange marks on their necks.
A fair amount of confusion seems to have reigned over the making of this. It's a sequel to the earlier 'Vampire Lovers' where Ingrid Pitt played the role of Carmilla. Here they couldn't get her so they used the relatively unkown Stensgaard. Terence Fisher was originally pencilled in to direct but Sangster had to take over when that fell through. And Peter Cushing was originally to have been cast as Barton but was replaced by Bates when that didn't work out either. Not that any of these replacements prove so very disastrous. Sangster does a decent enough job. Stensgaard is pretty good in the lead: it was probably the high point of her short career before she quit to work for a Christian radio station in the USA. And Bates isn't Cushing but is still serviceably creepy. The weak point of the film and the main reason this is one of Hammer's less successful vampire movies is Johnson as LeStrange who should be the dramatic and emotional centre of the movie but who fails to breath life into a serious disappointingly feeble and uninteresting character. Suzanna Leigh is equally lacklustre as Janet Playfair, the main goodie female character, the virtuous young teacher who takes a fancy to LeStrange (who is surely just not interesting enough to be very credibly such a big hit with the ladies, both dead and undead, as he is here). So by no means the greatest of the Hammer vampires but great fun nonetheless. If you like this sort of thing (and I have to say love it) all the ingredients are there: blood, sex, evil old counts with V-shaped haircuts, muttering villagers, peasant girls with heaving bosoms, black carriages with big black horses, noctural assignations, vampires turning to skeletons after getting 'staked', bodies down wells, stalwart local policemen who don't really know what they're up against, creepy graveyards... Oh go on. You know you really want to.

K. Jump
on February 3, 2004
Format: VHS Tape
A poor follow-up to "The Vampire Lovers," no classic itself, "Lust for a Vampire" continues Hammer Sutidos' efforts to resurrect their vampire franchise with hopped up levels of sex and blood. Though based on J. Sheridan LeFanu's immortal novella "Carmilla," there's nothing literary about LFAV's script,which essentially meanders aimlessly from one lesbian vampire shot to the next until everything mercifully burns up at the end. Interminably paced, amateurishly written, and largely nonsensical as anything other than softcore cheesecake with a strong dash of blood, LFAV lacks even "The Vampire Lovers" strong cast to give it some buoyancy. Michael Johnson's writer/teacher is a pain, Yutte Stensgaard is more than attractive but totally unconvincing as a vampire, Mike Raven does a good Christopher Lee imitation but then disappears, and Ralph Bates, whose performance is certainly the best of the whole cast, doesn't have enough to do and vanishes too quickly.
It's a pity, because this could have been a good movie if it had only been taken in a different direction. The plot, background, and vampire movie experience are all there--Hammer just doesn't do anything with them.
"Lust For a Vampire" has more than its fair share of fans and I used to be one of them. Today it continues to appeal to red-blooded teen males of all ages despite its numerous shortcomings, largely because of its blood, nudity, and lesbian undertones. LFAV is surely light fare compared to many modern horror efforts, and looks like a model of restrained etiquette compared to some contemporary vampire films. But there are many better vampire films out there, such as the original "Nosferatu" or Bela Lugosi's "Dracula," not to mention Hammer's own "Horror of Dracula" or "Brides of Dracula." These are movies of class, distinction, imagination and mystery. Give one of those a try and I think you'll agree there's no comparison.
